A Modern Outdoor Living Space Designed Around Comfort and Flexibility

This Sleaford project combines clean architectural lines with practical outdoor living features to create a stylish and sheltered garden seating area. Positioned alongside a garden room building, the pergola was designed to integrate seamlessly into the wider garden layout while remaining functional throughout the year.

How We Met the Brief

The client wanted a pergola that would complement a newly created garden environment 
while providing protection from the elements without feeling enclosed. 
 
We designed a 4.5m x 3.4m pergola finished in anthracite grey with a white roof, creating a 
clean and contemporary contrast. The addition of sliding glass panels and a fixed glass wall 
allows the space to remain bright and open while offering protection from wind and rain. 
 
A solid rear wall adds privacy and creates a more intimate seating area, while the integrated 
heater and louvre lighting ensure the pergola remains comfortable and usable into the evening 
and throughout cooler months. 
 
To maximise flexibility, a retractable front screen with integrated spotlights was installed, 
giving the client control over shade, privacy, and lighting levels as required. 

The Result

The finished pergola delivers a sophisticated outdoor living area that balances openness with 
shelter. By combining glass, lighting, heating, and screening systems, the space functions as a 
true extension of the home and garden.

Excellent service from start to finish, from initial planning, liaising with other teams doing other builds to building the pergola. The guys who came for the install were meticulous in everything they did and exceedingly precise. They cleared up afterwards, leaving a great job done. We had one small problem due to manufacturing supply. This was resolved without any fuss or problems. I would thoroughly recommend Rase Outdoor Living – Roger Nichols
